Montessori Education Program

Clayton Montessori Academy delivers a Montessori Early Education and Preschool Program for children aged 0 – 6 years. Our mission is: “Preparing children for school and life.”

Through our unique learning environments, Montessori Materials, and teaching philosophy, we facilitate hands-on learning experiences designed to support each child’s sense of belonging, confidence, independence and agency.

Our approach to education is grounded in the belief that children have a natural desire to learn, and that each child’s distinct personality and learning style should be nurtured and respected. This is reflected in our individualised learning programs, which empower our students with the knowledge, tools, and skills that that will unlock a life-long love of learning.

Montessori Curriculum

The cornerstone of the Montessori Curriculum is the Montessori materials, which are sensory based learning tools that are designed to provide children with opportunities to discover learning through repetition and practice.

The Montessori materials guide children through the Montessori Curriculum and increase in complexity as student’s progress through the Montessori Education Program.

This clear sequence provides children with a logical pathway to learning that promotes the gradual layering of knowledge to establish foundational learning.

At Bankstown Montessori Academy each child is an individual and not a number in a class room. Classes are organised, hygienic, and educators focus on the physical, emotional, and psychological development of each child. Thank you to each and every teacher at Montessori Academy. You have been a great support to my family, and we greatly appreciate and thank you for every second you had spent caring for my baby.

Strathfield Montessori Academy has exceeded our expectations. Our daughter loves attending the centre and we are confident that she is developing strong academic foundations, important life skills, and courtesy and manners. All the staff are welcoming and kind, and the centre certainly feels like an extension of our family.

Mary Poniros ~ Strathfield

Smithfield Montessori Academy has excellent lesson plans and goals for children to achieve in their respective age groups. My children have become independent, with an extensive vocabulary and reasoning skills, that sometimes they even surprise me! The staff are friendly, supportive, and provide open communication. My children's growth and development is a result of their excellent care.

My children have attended Penrith Montessori Academy for the past 3 years. As they were previously at a council based centre, I can attest for the higher standard of care and education that my children have received from Montessori. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and I am always receiving updates on my children's progress. They have flourished since attending this day care. Cannot recommend more highly.

I'm a first time mum and my little one started going to Macquarie Park Montessori Academy when she was 10 months old. I couldn't be happier with my decision to pick Montessori. My daughter loves it, the educators in the baby room are lovely, and she enjoys being with them. The team keep me well informed about the progress of my child, and it’s a hygienic place, with lots of play area for kids. I would recommend sending kids to this child care.

We couldn't be more pleased that we put our daughter into Leichhardt Montessori Academy. She immediately bonded with her educators and is always in a good mood at pick up time. Her little legs kick excitedly when we pull up to the gates in the morning. From smelling different things, to songs and painting - they find great ways to expose babies to new things to keep them engaged. Thank you to her teachers - you have really helped shape her early days!

My husband and I have nothing but praise and great things to say about the Entrada Montessori Academy team. You are highly organised, professional, approachable, kind and personal. We are always confident that our son is in good hands and a top learning environment.

I would just like to say how happy we are with our decision to change our boys care over to Engadine Montessori Academy. My boys have settled in so well and I attribute it to the staff you have employed. Their personalities and manner are so lovely, always taking the time to and give daily feedback, and showing obvious passion and pride in their role. My boys chat about them nonstop and willingly volunteer information about their day!

On my first day I stepped into to Earlwood Montessori Academy for a tour, I wished I had the opportunity to attend this centre myself. The environment is a wonderful place to learn and play. I am glad that my son attends here, as the staff are professional and helpful, and they follow the children's interests.

We love Lane Cove Montessori Academy! The educators are amazing and care for my baby as their own. He has such a great time and learns something new every day. We noticed he is quickly developing new skills and enjoys socialising with other babies.

Fernanda Gold ~ Lane Cove

My son has enjoyed his time at Castle Hill Montessori Academy, and my husband and I have been incredibly impressed by the staff’s nurturing, caring and professional approach to child care. Thank you so much for all you have done in making my child feel comfortable, cared for and safe.

Our little one has been at this centre for three and a half years, and we couldn't feel luckier or happier to have the little one at Burwood Montessori Academy. The staff are well organised, professional, and warm with the children. We feel confident and secure that the little one is in good hands. The education activities are impressive, and our little one comes home happy, and is developing into a well-rounded child, with independent skills.

Barangaroo Montessori Academy is a welcoming and vibrant community. My son has had the privilege of attending the Academy for over 2 years now and he has grown and developed in so many positive ways. From social interaction, to literacy, numeracy, music, and culture, Barangaroo Montessori Academy focuses on developing children who are happy, healthy and holistic. I can clearly see my son is thriving.

Marie Dela Cruz ~ Barangaroo

We are thoroughly impressed with the set up and all the staff at Alexandria Montessori. Ciara has adjusted so quickly and loves her days there. It is lovely to see all the children playing together when we come to pick her up in the evening. All the staff are so lovely and caring, and Ciara seems to be developing a special bond with her teachers already which is lovely to see as a parent.

Maryanne Perera ~ Alexandria

Bankstown Montessori Academy is the best place for children to attend if they're preparing for school. I love this place because it is more academic than play. My child has learnt a lot since attending this child care centre, and the staff are great!

Nathan Nguyen ~ Bankstown

My son attends Bankstown Montessori Academy two days a week. The team at Bankstown are passionate, dedicated, and professional. I highly recommend this educational institution to other parents!

My daughter joined Greenacre Montessori Academy is February 2016. After the first week, I knew I had made the right decision. My daughter is in the best hands ever, she loves going there, and has learned so much. Everything about this centre is beyond incredible and I would recommend it to any parent.

My daughter Angie has been with Montessori Academy for two weeks. Already she has made great progress, and is starting to socialise with other children for the first time. Thank you for settling my daughter so quickly!

Cecilia ~ Burwood

My daughter Sophie has learnt so much over the last year! Her vocabulary has increased, she can write her name, and is starting to sound out three letter words. I can’t wait to see how she develops once she moves into the preschool room!

Racha ~ Croydon

Our son and daughter both look forward to coming here. I always leave feeling confident that they'll have a great day, and know that I'll have to drag them out the door come home time!

Stephen ~ Penrith

I want to thank the dedicated team at Smithfield Montessori Academy for their love, dedication and support. My daughter has developed a wealth of knowledge, and is now ready to excel at school.
